MIKE TURNER
Mike is the co-founder and former guitarist of the multi-platinum Sony/Columbia Records band Our Lady Peace, as well as a three-time Juno Award winner and a four-time Much Music Video Award winner. He toured the world extensively for eight years before his growing interest in production--inspired by his work with producers Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Simple Plan, Finger Eleven) and Bob Rock (Our Lady Peace, Metallica, The Cult)--got the best of him, and Mike decided to leave the band to produce and write full-time.
He quickly established himself as a premier source for live recordings, using a streamlined mobile live recording rig of his own design, and he also built a private recording studio in his home, taking on projects for labels like Capitol/EMI and Sony.
Mike soon had the itch to build a "real" recording studio, and he partnered with kindred music industry veterans Mari Dew and Trevor Kustiak to launch The Pocket Studios.
